I got the K2 Apache Recons (78 waist, I think) for soft snow days, but I was surprised at how well they held on ice. I'd ski them more often if I didn't like my Fischer RX8's so much (and if there was any freakin' snow this year)

When you purchase a ski with a waist over 85mm for eastern use you need to have a mindset that those boards aren't going to be your everyday skis.

I did... But like I said there is something wrong with me. Also another reason is that I don't ski in bad conditions, I mostly go skiing with my dad and he will not go unless there is fresh snow. So out of 7 days this year with my dad I skied almost all deep crud and a good amount of untracked on 6 of those days.
